Beusch/Cassani

Data Jockeys Tina Cassani and Bruno Beusch are the founders of the
international production and communications network TNC Network,
established in 1995.

In 1995 they founded the legendary cyber-radio Radio TNC. In 1996 they
launched the interactive media fiction The Great Web Crash, which, in the
meantime, has generated largely autonomous spin-offs.

In 1997, they organized Crash Party and Clone Party, two globally
distributed networked events - occuring at the nexus of online and real
world experience, based upon the new structures of power and responsability
inherent in network-linked systems. These events were designed for the ever
growing numbers of people logging on to the new technologies and wishing to
experience massive parallelism of a vibrant, pulsating network-linked
process.

Paris-based Beusch/Cassani have been working since 1988 as independent
producers for main European networks (Radio France, ARD, BBC, ORF etc.),
for cultural channels as well as for young, alternative stations (Couleur
3, Radio Fritz etc.). They have also collaborated with online networks
(HotWired), and presented their projects in museums (Museum of Modern Art,
Secession Vienna; Museum of Technology Paris etc.), at exhibitions and
festivals.

Beusch/Cassani pioneered the link-up of radio and Internet. Radio TNC was
one of the very few platforms on which radio, with its techno-aesthetic
possibilities, its historically relative nature, its material constraints
and limitations, was linked-up to the Internet in a multi-faceted array of
combinations. A selection of the live webcasts realized since 1995 in
collaboration with TNC's partners around the world, is available on TNC's
site.
